Recovering your faith, recovering your life, recovering yourself.
Empathetic trauma therapy and addiction counseling from someone who understands. This is a space where healing happens.
Leigh’s Healing Philosophy
It all begins with LOVE.
I’ve walked and worked with people experiencing the after-effects of trauma, anxiety, and addiction for 34 years. It’s my firm belief that in order to recover, the shame must be replaced with compassion. Addictive behaviors are not a moral failing: they are evidence of buried pain that I see every day. Maladaptive coping behaviors don’t make you a bad person, they are symptoms of something much deeper.
You can recover, and you will slowly and gently feel better.
It starts with a safe person and a safe place to process the pain.
You’ve weathered enough storms. It’s time to let the light in.
A compassionate place to find clarity in the chaos.
Your therapy sessions will be held in my warm and inviting office space, designed for complete privacy and comfort. Enjoy complimentary water, soda (or Bubly) while we untangle the past and invite only understanding, not judgement, into the present.
In-person and telehealth appointments.
My office is located in Bearden in West Knoxville, TN.
Can’t make it in person? No worries – I also offer remote sessions for your comfort and preference.

You are not alone, and you are not beyond healing.
Overwhelmed by all you’re feeling?
I understand, because I’ve been there.
I’m Leigh-a devoted wife, stepmother, dog lover, and a survivor of complex trauma and addiction. But most importantly, I’m a joyful carrier of hope. No matter what you’ve been told, or what you’ve come to believe, where you are today is not your forever. If anxiety has left you paralyzed, life feels unbearable and hopeless, or addiction seems to dictate your every move, you’ve likely been in survival mode for far too long.
You are not broken, you are hurting, carrying wounds that deserve care. Sometimes, the most powerful step is finding a therapist who truly gets it-someone who has walked through the storm and emerged on the other side. Recovery is within your reach-I’m here to guide you through.
“Leigh is a wonderful therapist who uses her professional and personal experiences to walk beside her clients and help them achieve healing.”
